Use Utility and Common Sense as Your Guides

Choosing the right gifts can be daunting, especially if most of the recipients are unknown entities. It becomes a greater challenge when they are for a formal occasion with a mix of people from different age groups, cultures, and professions. This means that gifts which can be construed as personal are out of question. Yet, you must be cautious that the recipients don’t feel the gift has been chosen perfunctorily - more to fulfill a ritual than because you wanted to make people feel special.

Make It a Marriage of Beauty and Utility

You should first calculate how many people need to be given gifts, and don’t overlook your own personnel in the list. Then explore different corporate gift ideas after you have fixed your budget. Unless you expect a homogenous group in terms of age, sex, and social group; you need to choose things which have a universal appeal. Since many corporate gifts get passed on to the family, you could keep it in mind when choosing items like picnic mats, designer water bottles,clocks, and vacuum flasks.

There are always the commoner items like unisex tote bags, lanyards, and multi utility folders which should not be sneered at. These things are as handy as they are useful. Similarly, elegantly designed stationery items with your company’s or major brand name printed or embossed on them marry beauty to utility.

Make a Difference with the Packaging

Attractive packaging can make all the difference to how your gifts are perceived. You should set aside a portion of your budget for packaging. Then, even if you don’t spend a fortune on door gifts from Singapore, they will be perceived as more valuable. Items like lap trays, coasters,or sports water bottles show that your care. However, if you choose things like china show pieces or pieces of glazed ceramic sculpture, you must have a “Delicate: Handle with Care” label on the package. Remember to bubble wrap such things to prevent breakages.

At more personal events where only friends and/or family members attend, you can gift things like silk ties, trinkets, gilt photo frames, or even funny toothbrush holders as door gifts. When you put adequate thought into choosing gifts, it shows. People always appreciate thoughtfulness. At any event where you expect children or adolescents or parents of young ones, a set of color pencils makes a welcome gift, since no one can have too many of them.
